Measurement of the WW production cross section in proton-proton collisions with the ATLAS detector

Abstract

Measurements of the W+W- production using the leptonic decay channels are analysed using data collected by the ATLAS detector at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. The precise measurement of W+W-production is important for comparing to the Standard Model expectation, and also provides a detailed understanding of this process as a background in searches for new physics phenomena. © 2013 Owned by the authors, published by EDP Sciences.
